href="/wiki/National_Assembly_of_France" class="mw-redirect" title="National Assembly of France">National Assembly</a> of the <a href="/wiki/French_Fifth_Republic" title="French Fifth Republic">Fifth Republic</a>. On 2 April 1974, President <a href="/wiki/Georges_Pompidou" title="Georges Pompidou">Georges Pompidou</a> died. The non-<a href="/wiki/Gaullist" class="mw-redirect" title="Gaullist">Gaullist</a> centre-right leader <a href="/wiki/Val%C3%A9ry_Giscard_d%27Estaing" title="Valéry Giscard d'Estaing">Valéry Giscard d'Estaing</a> was elected to succeed him. Because the Gaullist <a href="/wiki/Union_of_Democrats_for_the_Republic" title="Union of Democrats for the Republic">Union of Democrats for the Republic</a> (<i>Union des démocrates pour la République</i>, UDR) was the largest party in the pro-Giscard majority in the Assembly, Giscard chose <a href="/wiki/Jacques_Chirac" title="Jacques Chirac">Jacques Chirac</a> to lead the cabinet. This period was one of renovation for Gaullism. </p><p>The presidential will to "govern towards the centre" and to promote a "modern liberal society" disconcerted the Gaullist party. The Abortion Act and the reduction of the age of majority to 18 years worried a part of the conservative electorate. Furthermore, a personal conflict opposed the two heads of the executive. In August 1976, Chirac resigned because he considered that he did not have "the means to carry on [his] function of Prime Minister". </p><p>Three months later, the UDR was replaced by the <a href="/wiki/Rally_for_the_Republic" title="Rally for the Republic">Rally for the Republic</a> (<i>Rassemblement pour la République</i>, RPR). This, Chirac's electoral machine, was officially a member of the Presidential Majority but frequently criticized the liberal and pro-European policy of President Giscard d'Estaing and his new prime minister <a href="/wiki/Raymond_Barre" title="Raymond Barre">Raymond Barre</a>. The executive duo reacted by federating the non-Gaullist centre-right in the <a href="/wiki/Union_for_French_Democracy" title="Union for French Democracy">Union for French Democracy</a> (<i>Union pour la démocratie française</i>, UDF). </p><p>While the right-wing majority was divided and the economic situation deteriorated, the "<a href="/wiki/Union_of_the_Left_(France)" title="Union of the Left (France)">Union of the Left</a>" won the mid-term local elections. According to the polls, it was the favourite to win the legislative election. In his <a href="/wiki/Verdun-sur-le-Doubs" title="Verdun-sur-le-Doubs">Verdun-sur-le-Doubs</a> speech, President Giscard d'Estaing warned the French voters that he could not prevent the enforcement of the left-wing <i>Common programme</i> if the "Union of the Left" won. The <a href="/wiki/Socialist_Party_(France)" title="Socialist Party (France)">Socialist Party</a> (<i>Parti socialiste</i>, PS) and the <a href="/wiki/French_Communist_Party" title="French Communist Party">French Communist Party</a> (<i>Parti communiste français</i>, PCF) did not update their <i>Common programme</i> due to increasing tension between the two parties resulting from the PS gaining in electoral success at the PCF's expense. </p><p>For the first time since 1936, the Socialists obtained more votes than the Communists. Furthermore, the French electorate appeared evenly shared between four equivalent political parties (RPR, UDF, PS, PCF). Barre was confirmed as Prime Minister. Until the <a href="/wiki/2007_French_legislative_election" title="2007 French legislative election">2007 French legislative election</a>, it was the last time that either the right or the left had won
